Clemens Busch 2014 Marienburg Rothenpfad Riesling Auslese (0.375l)

Taste: very expressive wine with a lot of fabric and good sweetness, but also very high mineral acid backbone.Fascinating fruit, freshness, spice, sweet, concentrated, clear, penetrating, substance and bite all come to mind.

Terroir: This section was mentioned in the historic Mosel wine map as among the best in the region. The red slate, that dominates here, provides the wines with an herbal-spicy note, which makes itself especially clear with a bit of residual sugar. In particularly hot years, the southeast-facing of this vineyard is superior to those sites that face due south, because it is a bit cooler there in the evenings and the grapes.

After soft pressing and most-oxidation we do spontanly fermentation over 8-10 month in traditional old 1000-l-barrels. The long yeast-contact is a guaranty for a good mature in the bottle.
